  • A “Create Your Own” Package that allows guests to customize their experience and includes multiple ticket options – including a specialty “1.5-Day” admission ticket – hotel accommodations, flights and access to exclusive benefits such as Early Park Admission, resort-wide charging privileges, free delivery of purchased merchandise, and more.
  • All room types at the Universal Kids Resort Hotel for stays beginning June 30, including the Standard Queen, Deluxe Queen and Signature Queen rooms, which can sleep up to five guests, and the Family Suites, which can sleep up to six guests.
• Universal Kids Resort, Universal's first-ever regional theme park specifically designed for kids, will officially open on July 1.

For Families:

• Universal Kids Resort is designed with families with small children in mind.
• However, it seems a lot of adult theme park fans are gearing up to head to Frisco. Perhaps they are either too set on the idea of visiting a new Universal Theme Park (perhaps expecting something on the level of Epic Universe at Universal Orlando in a regional setting) or just want to see a new park in general, which could lead to an early influx of guests who are theme park enthusiasts without kids.
• This park has lots of attractions, all geared toward a younger or family subset, and those fans might walk into the gate looking for something akin to Velocicoaster - but will find themselves wanting.
• That said, those who know who this park is meant for are sure to delight in the many offerings that the park will include, and each of the immersive environments that they are set in.
• We'll find out more when those gates open in July.
